Westminster School is a busy and vibrant place to work. There is a real sense of community here as, being a boarding school, many members of staff and pupils live on site and the School’s premises are very much treated as a home away from home. Support staff as much as teaching staff are encouraged to embrace the School’s day-to-day activities, whether that be attending an evening concert or a morning service in the Abbey.

Payroll is a key part of the School’s People function, serving both Westminster Under School and Westminster School. This is an exciting time to be joining us as both schools are currently undergoing a period of expansion, moving towards full co-education across every year group by 2030 and introducing a new pre-prep for girls and boys at 4+.

The postholder will be responsible for processing payroll, maintaining employee records, and ensuring compliance with tax and legislative laws.
